A lack of snow and high energy costs are not only a burden on tourism, but also on sports facilities and youth development. The safety professionals at Alpina have invented a patented mat system to combat this.

Energy costs of 20,000 to 30,000 euros a year represent a huge challenge for the many small ski jumping facilities throughout Austria, where the next Stefan Kraft, Daniel Tschofenig or Hannah Wiegele take their first steps and jumps. But a big name in skiing offers an innovative solution.
